2 - 48 Cajun P880 Routing Switch Installation Guide

When the redundant controller and element are installed, the
backplane consists of the following parts:
■
One main controller
■
One redundant controller
■
Six switch elements
■
One redundant element
The Cajun P880 switch is equipped with diagnostics to monitor the
status of switch controllers and elements. When an element fails,
diagnostics run automatically and test the hardware. In the Web
Agent, information about a failed controller or element displays in
the Switch Fabric Status dialog box.
If the primary controller fails, the redundant controller takes over
switch operation until you replace the primary controller. If an
element fails, the redundant element takes over the function of the
failed element until you replace the element.
Checking for Proper
Installation 1. In the System Information section of the Web Agent window,
click Switch Fabric. The Switch Fabric Status dialog box opens.
If the redundant controller and element installed properly,
settings display as in Figure 19.
